I was afraid for 29 years. My body felt fine except for the occasional nausea or aches in my legs. Other than that, I didn’t have any trouble. But lurking around in my body was Hepatitis C genotype three, the hardest type to treat. It isn’t common in the U.S. It’s possible I contracted it from infected blood from the transfusion I had in 1985 outside of the states.
